After the first year users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will have to pay to upgrade to Windows 10. This seems like a great way to get adoption of the operating system off to a fast start. Windows 10 wil bring back the Start Menu, a productive Desktop environment, and cutting-edge new API features like DirectX 12.
